By JIM DWYER

The arresting officer came by the cell, Samantha Zucker said, to make snide remarks about finding her with a friend in Riverside Park after its 1 a.m. closing.

For instance:

“He was telling me that I needed to get a new boyfriend, that I should get a guy who takes me out to dinner,” Ms. Zucker said. “He mocked me for being from Westchester.”

Early in the morning on Oct. 22, a Saturday, Ms. Zucker, 21, and her friend Alex Fischer, also 21, were stopped by the police in Riverside Park and given tickets for trespassing. Mr. Fischer was permitted to leave after he produced his driver’s license. But Ms. Zucker, on a visit to New York City with a group of Carnegie Mellon University seniors looking for jobs in design industries, had left her wallet in a hotel two blocks away.

She was handcuffed. For the next 36 hours, she was moved from a cell in the 26th Precinct station house on West 126th Street to central booking in Lower Manhattan and then — because one of the officers was ending his shift before Ms. Zucker could be photographed for her court appearance, and you didn’t think he was going to take the subway uptown while his partner stayed with her at booking, did you? — she was brought back to Harlem.

There she waited in a cell until a pair of fresh police officers were rustled up to bring her back downtown for booking, where she spent a second night in custody.

The judge proceeded to dismiss the ticket in less than a minute.

News about the Police Department lately could run under the headline of the daily Dismal Development, starting with a judge declaring Tuesday that an officer was guilty of planting drugs on entirely innocent people and continuing back a few days to gun-smuggling, pepper-spraying and ticket-fixing.

Here, in the pointless arrest of Ms. Zucker, is a crime that is not even on the books: the staggering waste of spirit, the squandering of public resources, the follies disguised as crime-fighting. About 40,000 people a year — the vast majority of them young black and Latino men — are fed like widgets onto a conveyor belt of arrest, booking and court, after being told to empty their pockets and thus commit the misdemeanor of “open display” of marijuana.

Such arrests are a drain on the human economy.

Ms. Zucker said that throughout her stay in police station cells, other officers were shocked that she had not been given a chance to have a friend fetch her ID. “The female officers were gossiping that the officer who arrested me had an incredibly short fuse,” she said.

We are instructed by the mayor that the garish crimes of police gun-running and fake arrests are the work of rogues, not the daily toil of honest police officers. A fair point — but no more than Ms. Zucker’s observations of spiritual corruption.

“While it may have been one out-of-control officer that began the process,” she said, “no other officer had the courage to stand up against what they knew was a poor decision.”

After two days of storming design firms around the city with about 80 classmates, Ms. Zucker stopped at the hotel near West 103rd Street where the group was staying so she could drop off the bag she had been schlepping. Then she got Mr. Fischer — a classmate, not a boyfriend, the leering remark of the police officer to the contrary — to walk with her a few blocks to the park, at about 3 a.m. They wanted to see the Hudson River, which runs past her hometown of Ardsley, N.Y.

“We’re there five minutes when a police car came up and told us we had to leave because the park was closed,” Mr. Fischer said. “We said, ‘O.K., we didn’t know,’ and turned around to leave. Almost immediately, a second police car pulls up.”

Its driver said they would get tickets for trespassing and demanded their IDs. Ms. Zucker suggested that someone could bring her papers from the hotel. “He said it was too late for that, I should have thought of it earlier,” she said.

Asked about the policy, the Police Department’s chief spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said officers can allow a friend or relative to retrieve ID. He did not say if a supervisor approved the arrest of Ms. Zucker, which was attributed in court papers to a Police Officer Durrell of the 26th Precinct.

Twice, she said, the officer told her not to call him by a specific foul term.

“I said, ‘Sir, I never used that word.’ ”

No doubt he was hearing things: the unspoken truth about his unspeakable actions.

Terror.

Friday night I was wrongfully arrested for trespassing in a park without my ID. Given that I complied with the police, have no record, offered to have my ID retrieved and that every cop along the way knew the case would be instantly dismissed by a judge, the arrest should not have happened.

But the arresting officer was on a power trip, there are no checks and balances, everyone lies and the system is flawed. So the arrest happened.

And I ended up in custody for almost 36 hours.

It was terrifying. You get stuck in a system in which you have no rights, in which no one explains anything, or claims everyone else is lying. You don’t know who to believe. You don’t know how you ended up there. You’re treated like an animal for doing nothing wrong.

I don’t care what I’ve been taught in school. In this country, you are absolutely guilty until proven innocent.

I fear a lot of things in my life. But not like this. I have never had my body in physical fear - trembling, stomach turning, unable to sleep, unable to think of anything besides what you fear - for an amount of time like this. It’s draining. You ache and ache. And there’s no escape.

I fear the police. I fear the power we’ve given them. I fear the system that keeps everyone “in their place”. I have never been more scared in my life. The unknown is fine with me, as long as I have freedoms. Losing those means losing everything.

And I only feel worse knowing that it can happen anywhere. Not just in the USA.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by!

I'm a current senior at Carnegie Mellon University busy working on self-initiated projects, volunteering, and deciding what I want to do after academia. I take some classes in there too. I will be receiving a Bachelors of Humanities and the Arts degree in May with a minor in Professional Writing.

When entering college, I decided combine my interests in the humanities with my passion for creativity. The BXA interdisciplinary program has let me carve out my own concentrations and merge them in new ways. My focuses are in Communication Design and Cultural Linguistics. I'm interest in communications - oral, written, visual or anything else - in situations when two cultures collide with one another. I am not yet sure what job this will translate into, but it is an area I'm incredibly excited about. If nothing else, my education has taught me how to approach a problem from all sides and think in new ways.

I recently spent a semester in Morocco, a place where at least four cultures are constantly interacting with one another. Check out my blog from the semester for more on the experience.

I love photography, graphic design and projects that involve human interaction in new ways.

http://srz08.tumblr.com/post/10547000912/how-i-speak

Today I learned so much about myself. And surprisingly it actually came from an academic paper.

In 1981, Deborah Tannen wrote a paper titled “New York Jewish Conversational Style”. While I lack the New York Jewish accent with its elongated vowels, I have all of the discourse style.

I interrupt people

I ask too many personal questions

I speak at a rapid-fire pace

I hate pauses and silences in conversations

I change topics frequently and abruptly

I tell stories (often in rounds)

I’m totally fine with overlapping talk

I use exaggerated pitch to show enthusiasm

I prefer personal topics

Until today I did not realize this isn’t how everyone speaks. Until today I did not realize that there are supposed to be pauses in conversations and time between turns. Until today I did not realize that you have to stop talking for the other person to start in - I thought they just didn’t want to talk, or they would have cut in by now. Until today I did not realize that the overlapping talk and rapid-fire questions could be seen as rude - they were always intended to show enthusiasm.

Now I keep seeing it everywhere. Things make so much more sense. When I moved in with my roommate sophomore year, she was incredibly quiet. I simply talked to fill the space. The silence made me uncomfortable.

Today I had a rapid-fire rounds story telling with a good friend and a friend of hers on strange sleep habits. The fourth person there seemed to be in shock at how fast we went. I later realized all three of us where from New York.

And to be honest, this is why I love blogging. I love telling stories.

So I’m sorry if I ever talk over you or cut you off or interrogate you with questions. I had no idea. And if you run into someone doing this, try to be nice. To us, it shows unity, understanding and compassion. It’s a bond. We have only the best intentions. Also, if you’re really uncomfortable, tell the person. I’m sure they have no idea.

Hollaback PSA - During my time in Morocco I met so many young men who could have benefitted from a movement like this. The most frustrating thing was when guys simply didn’t get why it was a big deal, why we got angry and why we didn’t simply take their cat calling as a compliment. Hollaback has my full support.
